empowering students

Research has shown that a high-quality summer learning program offers a vital opportunity to bridge learning gaps in math and reading. Yet many schools start planning from scratch each year. Traditionally seen as remedial, summer programs have also become a cornerstone for tackling opportunity gaps and empowering students from underserved backgrounds to excel academically.

While some educators remain skeptical that a four- or five-week summer learning program can produce transformative results, year-over-year data tracked by Lavinia Group from the past three years has proven that when you expect more of your summer learning experience, students achieve more. Listen to this edWeb podcast to learn how you can build a five-week summer learning program capable of producing double-digit gains in math and reading.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to school and district leaders of the elementary through middle school grades.

About our Guest
This is my 18th year of teaching at the Midd-West School District in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. For the first 12 years, I was the yearbook advisor, taught Precalculus, Trigonometry, as well as Algebra I & II, and served as math department chair. I currently teach 6th-grade math and continue to represent the math department at the curriculum council. I learned about GMM in 2018 and quickly realized this is what my team needed to pull us out of a standardized testing slump. We went from 15/16 in our region to #1 for growth on the Math PSSA! GMM made that possible for us. I am married with a son and two stepdaughters. We love to go on vacation, make S'mores around the campfire, and watch Disney movies. My hobbies include making scrapbooks and working out. 

In this episode of the Get More Math Podcast, we are sharing a delightful conversation between veteran GMM user, Mandy Beck, and Josh Britton. Mandy shares how she values accuracy over points gained and how starting with the basics is key for student success and confidence. She specifically shares a story of how a struggling student became one of her most engaged students just by using GMM. So inspiring! She also shares a great tip that all teachers need to know. Listen to find out what it is!

I currently teach 8th Grade math at Tyrone Area Middle School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania.  This is my 14th year of teaching.  Throughout my career, I have taught anywhere from pre-algebra up through dual-enrollment Calculus.  I am married and have 3 stepsons.  We enjoy doing anything outside, including spending time on our boat on the lake.  We also love camping, hiking, and kayaking – especially with our dog Bear and our newest puppy Grizzly.

In this episode, we’re hearing from a long-time Get More Math user, Tiffany Smith.  As a high school Algebra teacher, she’s seen a dramatic change in students as more and more grade levels in her district utilize the program. Additionally, she shares a story of how creating Challenge Classes resulted in motivating the most unexpected students. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Tiffany and Josh!

I graduated from Saint Francis University with a mathematics degree and concentration in actuarial science. I went back to school and got my teaching certification. I am currently a teacher of 9-12 graders. I currently teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2,  Statistics, and Pre-Calculus. I have been teaching at Tyrone High School for ten years. For the last 4 years, I have been an avid user of Get More Math in my classroom. It has truly changed my life as a teacher. Outside the classroom, I am a mom of two daughters, a three-year-old, and 6 month old. Our family loves anything outdoors including camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, and working out.

In this episode, hear from Texas Teacher, Cody Kirkland. Through using Get More Math in his middle school classroom, Cody was able to change the overall landscape of how his students approached learning math. Bringing his energy and drive to the classroom, over time Cody saw his students not only improve their math skills but become excited about solving the problems and wanting to learn more. With the onset of COVID-19 protocols last spring his students were unable to take their standardized state tests, and if you can believe it, they were disappointed that they did not get to showcase their newfound love of math.
